Today I had the opportunity to attend an event in my district; what the South Wisconsin District LWML calls a Share Shop; Enabling and Equipping Members of LWML, Sharing the Heart of LWML. For two consecutive Saturdays district presenters and personnel travel to two district locations to present the same share shop. (I always want [...]
This morning I had the opportunity to attend my very own LWML zone spring rally. This is not to be taken lightly. Because of my travel schedule I have missed many zone gatherings, district retreats, and my own society meetings. What a joy it was to be with my sisters in Christ. Speaking the words [...]
Where do the days go? When I logged into the blog page on the website, I saw that my last entry was in December. Very long time with no blogging. One way to peek into my heart and life and hear about some of the things that the Lord is teaching me, is to listen [...]
This past week I was preparing for the upcoming LWML Board of Directors meeting and my thoughts went to last winter’s meeting. The district presidents who were retiring at the 2010 district conventions (all 21 of them) had gotten together and gifted me with a leather copy of the new Lutheran Study Bible, something that [...]
Tuesday November 16 I ran into some travel challenges. I was flying to St. Louis for the day, on a 6 a.m. flight from Milwaukee. I had it all scheduled: after getting the rental car, I would drive to the LWML office and spend several hours there, do my KFUO radio interview with Paul Clayton [...]
Whenever I am representing the LWML I wear the President’s Pin. Often I receive compliments on it which gives me the opportunity to share the symbolism and brief information about LWML.

Yesterday was my birthday, and a milestone one at that. Because of modern technology and social networking the word got out; possibly my most publicized birthday ever. My wonderful family and friends sent cards, gifts, e-mails, Facebook messages, called my home phone, my LWML line and my cell phone. One of the things that I [...]
When several things all happen on the same day, I take notice! In the basement where I have my treadmill, there is an (old) AAL perpetual calendar. Today’s entry was: “Learn, Look and Do! Read the Word, reflect on it and act.” Sounded very close to the vision statement I have been sharing throughout my [...]
Traveling to visit some LCMS sites today in between meetings, LWML VP Patti brought along three tissue box holders that have photos of real women who are in the LWML and help convey The Face of LWML. We stopped at a drugstore on the way, purchased the boxes of tissues to use for the holders, [...]
After spending time at the LCMS International Center and having lunch with Jennifer, our staff connection with the LWML short-term mission challenge that was issued by this president in January 2008, the three travelers took off for Concordia Seminary and the offices of KFUO. Each Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Central time, program host Dianne Summers [...]
